Ribița (Hungarian: Ribice, German: Kellerdorf) is a commune in Hunedoara County, Transylvania, Romania. It is composed of six villages: Crișan (formerly Vaca; Váka), Dumbrava de Jos (Alsózsunk), Dumbrava de Sus (Felsőzsunk), Ribicioara (Ribicsora), Ribița, and Uibărești (Újbáresd).
The commune is located in the northern part of Hunedoara County, 7 km (4.3 mi) from the city of Brad, Hunedoara and 45 km (28 mi) from the county seat, Deva. It lies on the banks of the river Ribița, which discharges into the Crișul Alb at the southern edge of the commune. To the north are the Bihor Mountains and to the south are the Metaliferi Mountains.
The Crișan Monastery [ro], also known as Vaca Monastery, was built in the late 16th century, with support from Michael the Brave. Located in the eponymous village, the monastery fell into disuse in the late 18th century, but was rebuilt in 1992.[2]
